What is the effect of adding a strong base to a buffer solution?
Correct Answer: pH badh jaata hai, lekin buffer pH mein zyada badlav ko rokta hai.
- Step 1: Understand what a buffer solution is. A buffer solution is a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base that helps maintain a stable pH.
- Step 2: Know what a strong base is. A strong base is a substance that completely dissociates in water to produce hydroxide ions (OH-).
- Step 3: When you add a strong base to the buffer, the strong base will react with the weak acid in the buffer solution.
- Step 4: This reaction reduces the amount of weak acid in the buffer, which can lead to an increase in pH (making the solution more basic).
- Step 5: However, because the buffer contains both the weak acid and its conjugate base, it can still resist large changes in pH.
- Step 6: The buffer will absorb some of the added strong base, preventing the pH from rising too much.
